Ok, this has got to stop! All my last posts are about chocolate chip cookies or chocolate chip cookie related. Enough allready, don't you think?

I'll stop but as for this post I'm sticking with them, or at least making sticks out of them!

No recipe today, just a quick idea for your weekend. A while ago I made Banana filled chocolate chip cookies and had a bit of cookie dough left. Instead of opening a new banana I made these. They are very easy and you can do them with almost any chocolate chip cookie recipe.

Make your dough according to your recipe. It's better to use a recipe that makes a soft dough, so it's easier to spread. Spread on a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silpad, with the help of an off set spatula (if you don't have one, a normal spatula, a knife or even the back of a spoon can help). Bake as you would your cookies and when they're golden brown take them out of the oven. They'll be soft and that's how you want them. Immediatly cut stripes of the dough at the lenght and wideness you prefer. If you're using a silpad remove the baked huge cookie to a cutting board before cutting, so you don't cut your silpad (those things are expensive!), but work fast, because this way they'll cool faster and also harden faster, making it difficult to cut even stripes or sticks. Let them cool and harden and munch away.

omg these are genius. i love the idea of using it as a marshmallow stick. real sticks always get their stick-like substances on the marshmallow. i wouldn't mind getting choco chip cookie all over one. YUMMY.

I don't think I can ever get tired of chocolate chip cookies. I love how I can eat these without having to worry about what kind of cup/glass to pour my drink into :). The marshmallow idea makes these extra special :).

Your ideas are sheer genius, though I'm sure I've said that before. But honestly, if there were a noble prize for cooking, you'd win it! I love this idea, seriously MUST try it!

PS -as a blogger, I also thought it was a great idea to just throw the idea out there without a recipe. Who doesn't have a recipe for choc chip cookies?? I'm sure it saved you a lot of time and we didn't necessarily need it. I've so been tempted to do this a few times, I think now that I see it done successfully, I will save myself some time too!
